My Webcam is not working with Microsoft Teams

Hi Antonio,

I have gone into settings as you said.

Microsoft Teams is listed under 'Some desktop apps might not appear in the following list or are not affected by this setting' which comes under the 'Allow desktop apps to access your camera'.

The Webcam works with the following apps: -

Windows Camera app

Skype (from Microsoft)

Zoom

I have checked that my Kaspersky software and it is allowing access by Teams to the Webcam. I uninstalled the Webcam driver and then reinstalled it.

As the Webcam works with all other apps then I believe it must be the interaction with Teams and my Webcam.

Please advise next steps please.

 

Webcam only in B/W

Hi Seth,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I can understand that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should.



Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

1. What is the model number of the laptop?
   
2. Is this an external/internal webcam?
   
3. If it’s an external webcam, may I know the make and model of the webcam?
   

I suggest you to refer the section ‘Roll back your webcam driver’ from the article
Camera does not work in Windows 10 for the troubleshooting steps.
